I read in one thread that a FRpeeper was under the impression that tonight's debate would only be online and was disappointed, so I wanted to let everyone know that it will be on TV as well.
Check your cable/satellite TV listings for CNBC at 8pm.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnbc.com ...
Bartiromo and Harwood.
Is there a radio station carrying the audio of the upcoming debate? Please let me know if you would be so kind.
My zip code is EIEIO, thus reliable broadband for video is sketchy at best.
BTW..GM stock down 11% today..on crappy outlook....no VOLTage in that puppy...
You asked: “Do we know who is the moderator/questioners? Will the candidates stay on topic..or comment on the Cain matter?”
HillBuzz claims to have a mole at CNBC. Here are some of the questions that will probably be asked :)

Yes, we have a mole at CNBC, and she managed to sneak a peek at an advance copy of tonight’s debate questions. Check out the Debate Live Blog thread here: http://hillbuzz.org/2011/11/09/live-blog-transcript-gop-presidential-debate-in-michigan-november-9th-2011-at-oakland-university/
Here’s what our mole was able to memorize and send in:
Herman Cain: “As you know, Mr. Cain, CNBC is a financial news network, and tonight’s debate is focused on economic issues. You have decades of experience in the business world creating jobs and turning around failing companies. How did you find time to develop your 9-9-9 Plan in between your horrific and brutal repeated sexual assaults, sexual harassment, rapes, tortures, dismemberments and murders of blonde white women, young boys, and barnyard animals? Do you regret not killing more of your victims? Do you want to kill me now? Is my life in danger? Help! Police!”
Jon Huntsman: “Mr. Huntsman, the Obama Administration appointed you Ambassador to China, and you speak fluent Mandarin. I, for one, think you’re extremely reasonable, intelligent and moderate, for a Republican. What will you do, as President, to continue the Obama Administration’s trade policies and ensure that secret U.S. defense technology continues to flow to China so they keep buying our T-Bills?”
Rick Perry: “Did you get the 5-Hour Energy Drink we sent to your dressing room? What about the Red Bull? Like the rest of the mainstream media, we’ve given you far more news coverage than all the other candidates in the race, and we declared you the “Frontrunner” within moments of your announcing your candidacy. Why isn’t it working? Why aren’t you higher in the polls? What else can we do? It’s making us look bad that you’re behind GINGRICH, for God’s sake! WAKE UP! We’re trying to get you nominated!”
Herman Cain: “Have you sexually harassed any other women in the past few minutes? Would you sexually harass Michelle Bachmann? Or do you only go for blonde white women?”
Ron Paul: “You’re more of an expert in economics, monetary policy, and the Federal Reserve than anyone onstage. So we’re going to ask you about foreign policy. You’re one of only two veterans onstage tonight. You want the U.S. to stop policing the world and involving U.S. troops in foreign civil wars. In short, you want to bring home the troops. You get more campaign contributions from members of the military than all other candidates combined, including our gifted and articulate president, Mr. Barack Obama, who I met at the Correspondents Dinner last year, and frankly, he couldn’t have been nicer. He even signed an autograph for me. Apparently, the top three donors to your campaign are members of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and U.S. Navy. Do you think this is because active duty military are lazy, or is it because they are cowards?”
Herman Cain: “We’re getting reports that a sixth anonymous woman who lives in David Axelrod’s apartment building and works for the Obama Administration has made vague and unsubstantiated claims about something you may have done or said that may have made her feel uncomfortable between 13 and 27 years ago. What are the details of this allegation? Don’t you agree, it’s the seriousness of the charge that is important?”
Michelle Bachmann and Rick Santorum: “Let’s be honest. This debate is about the economy, but frankly, we know all you GOP kooks agree that taxes are too high, business is over-regulated, and the government is broke. So we’re going to talk about social issues, because we know that’s the only thing that can alienate the libertarians. Since this is the only time we’re going to call on either of you, please take a minute to remind America how you would each imprison pregnant women to keep them from having abortions, and detail your plans to round up and kill all the gays.”
Newt Gingrich: “Despite our best efforts, you appear to be rising in the polls at the expense of one of our hand-picked candidates, Rick Perry. So we’d like to take a moment to remind the voters that you’re a cruel, heartless bastard who gave his wife cancer, put her in the hospital, had an affair with all of the nurses on duty in her hospital bed in front of her, bribed the surgeon to sew divorce papers into her body, then killed her and brought her back to life so you could kill her again, in front of your children. And it looks like we don’t have time for a response, so let’s move on to the only candidate in the field who looks Presidential, Mitt Romney, the celebrated and wise former governor of that thriving beacon of economic success, Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney: “First, Mr. Romney, I’d like to apologize for interrupting your campaign speech with short outbursts from these other so-called candidates. It won’t happen again. And thank you for sending over that autographed copy of your book with that “special bookmark.” Please take as much time as you need in the next hour to personally attack any other Republican candidate. Except Ron Paul, of course, because then the news stories would have to include the words ‘Ron Paul,’ and our destruction of his campaign depends upon us keeping his plans to save America a secret.
Here’s a very serious question for you, Mr. Romney. When the Herman Cain campaign blamed the campaign of your rival Rick Perry to giving us the story of his decades of horrific rapes and serial murders of defenseless blonde white women, were you satisfied with how quickly we got the word out? Is there anything else we can do to keep this story alive?
We’ve suppressed coverage of New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, just as you asked.
So, did you get the fruit basket we left in your dressing room? Is the lighting good for you? Would you like us to move the other candidates further off to the side?”
hi all, gonna be interesting night for Cain. Hope he keeps his cool.
Wouldn’t it have been cool if the Father or the Tea Party movement Rick Santelli could have moderated?

Isn’t Santelli there tonight?
It would be great, but I guarantee the RINO establishment would have squashed it.
Bookmarking...
NO idea. I hope Larry Kudlow is one!
LOLOLOL.
Only because of Italy. They have no money and people won't be able to buy cars. GM will recover is less than a week.
ROFL! That’s probably what the tenor of the questions will be.
Prediction ( hopefully) they ask a question about Cain and the charges, and Newt bitchslaps them down..
Wish they’d let Santelli moderate or at least ask some questions.
Or is it because your preferred candidate is up against the ropes and going another few rounds might result in a total KO?
I would guess if your preferred candidate was doing well, cleaning the stage, looking presidential, you'd be telling all how valuable, informative and how these debates give critical close up insight to the candidates themselves.
Just guessing though. I could be wrong.
He just might! I think he will give Herman Cain the chance to answer, but if they press on, I anticipate that Newt will tell them this debate is supposted to be about the issues.
Yes, I agree with you!
Father of our Tea Party!
Bump.
